RHAPSODY OF REALITIES 16TH MARCH 2022 DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: HIS WORKS AND HIS NAMES

SCRIPTURE: “…I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them (Exodus 6:3)” “…you have made your word [even] greater than the whole of your reputation” (Psalm 138:2 CJB)

God reveals Himself, His power and His glory in His Names. He introduced Himself to Moses as Jehovah. That revelation of Him was what Moses needed to deliver the children of Israel from the hands of Pharaoh, a wicked tyrant.

Jehovah is the Latinian and anglicised version of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton YHWH. Let’s have a quick review of seven Jehovah names revealed to Israel on different occasions. When the children of Israel got to Marah, as they journeyed through the wilderness, the water of Marah was bitter. Through Moses, God sweetened the water for them to drink and said, “I’ll bless your bread and your water. I will not put on you any of the diseases that I put on the Egyptians, because I am Jehovah Rapha—the God that heals you” (Exodus 23:25; 15:26).

As they journeyed on, Amalek came out against them and with God’s help, Joshua completely discomfited Amalek. In celebrating the victory, Moses bows before the Lord and says, “Jehovah Nisi: the Lord our banner” (Exodus 17:13-15). Hallelujah! Their journey continued, and God said to the children of Israel, “In all your great victories, you must remember me and worship me. Then I will continue to show that there’s a difference between those who serve me and those who don’t, because I am Jehovah Mekadishcum—the Lord that sanctifies” (Exodus 31:13; Leviticus 20:8).

Then we come to Gideon; he’s working in the fields, and suddenly, an angel appears and says, “Hello Gideon, Mighty man of valour, the Lord is with you” Judges 6:12). The Angel ministers to Gideon and Gideon is strengthened and bows his knees, builds an altar and says, “Jehovah Shalom”: the Lord is peace.

Years later, God comes into the camp of Israel and says, “Amalek is at it again”; and He says to Saul who was King at the time, “I want you to completely destroy Amalek because I swore that I would fight with Amalek in every generation.” Then God says, “I am Jehovah Saboath; the Lord of Host”; He’s the God of war. Furthermore, He speaks to the Prophet Jeremiah who was always weeping in intercession for God’s people. He prophesies the name by which God shall be known as Jehovah Tsidkenu: “the Lord our righteousness” (Jeremiah 23:6; 33:16).

Ezekiel the prophet reveals another name describing His millennial reign and presence in Jerusalem when His kingdom is established: “Jehovah Shamah”: the Lord is present. This last revelation for the Old Testament folks ushered in “Emmanuel”—God with us, in the birth of Christ, as revealed by the Prophet Isaiah. The Bible says the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us and He was given the Name Jesus! That’s the greatest of all. All the previous revelations of the names of the Father were names of reputation, above which the Word—the living Word—Jesus is magnified: “…for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name” (Psalm 138:2).

Everything in heaven, the earth, and under the earth responds to the Name of Jesus; that’s the Name of the God-head; the Name that’s above every name (Philippians 2:9-11). Blessed be God!

CONFESSION: What a blessing it is to know that God has given us the name that is above every name to live by—the Name of Jesus! I live in, and by the power of that Name, expressing your righteousness, walking in victory and in glory. I’m a success, because the Name of Jesus is named upon me. Hallelujah!
